The proto-oncogene bcl2 is associated with follicular lymphoma involving translocation t (14;18) (q32;q21) and is also overexpressed in various neoplasms. Investigations into the sequential over-expression of the oncoproteins in oral epithelial dysplasia are lacking and the possible role of bcl2 in oral tumor progression remains unknown. Aim: To evaluate the expression of bcl2 in varying grades of Oral Epithelial Dysplasia. Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemical analyses were carried out in 30 cases of epithelial dysplasia,10 cases each of mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia and severe dysplasia. Statistical analysis was performed by using chi-square test and a probability of P < 0.05 was considered as significant. Result and Conclusion: Overexpression of this oncoprotein was seen as the grade of epithelial dysplasia increased, suggesting the role of this oncoprotein in early stages of tumor progression.
